Respect for the environment and environmental commitments
At our campsite, we are deeply committed to protecting the environment. Everything we do is aimed at reducing our environmental impact and fostering a sustainable and pleasant living environment for our campers.
Here are some of our green initiatives:
- Renewable energy: we have installed solar panels to generate some of our electricity, thereby helping to reduce our carbon footprint.
- Waste management: compost bins are provided in every accommodation unit to encourage the sorting of organic waste. We also provide each camper with yellow bags, along with an information leaflet, to make sorting waste easier and more effective. A glass recycling bin is available in the recycling area.
- Eco-friendly gardening methods: we use mulch, some of which comes from our pruning waste, to protect and nourish our plants. We have also opted for a weed burner so that we can control weeds without using chemicals.
- Water management: our toilets, located in the reception block’s toilet facilities, are designed to use water sparingly as they are connected to our well. Furthermore, the communal showers and washbasins are fitted with push-button taps to limit water consumption and prevent wastage.
- Energy efficiency: motion sensors have been fitted to the outdoor lighting to prevent energy wastage, and timers have been installed in the communal toilets to limit excessive use of lighting.
- Commitment to responsible consumption: at our snack bar, meals are served on plates using reusable tableware or can be taken away in recyclable cardboard trays, in order to minimise the use of plastic.
- Eco-friendly cleaning products: accommodation and communal toilet facilities are cleaned using environmentally friendly cleaning products.
We are proud of these initiatives and continue to look for new ways to make our campsite even more environmentally friendly. Together, we can help build a greener and more sustainable future whilst enjoying the beauty of the natural world around us to the full.
